A stupid idea just came up to me. Knowing that it is difficult for various reasons to make a 680X0 board as fast or faster than the GoldCard, would it be possible to... make an accelerator board for the GoldCard itself ? (Or SGC for that matter). Some kind of daughter board that would fit in

Ok then what about the GoldCard ? The 68000 is socketed I believe. F. On 2013-03-09, at 18:32, Tony Firshman wrote: On Saturday, March 9, 2013, Francois Lanciault wrote: A stupid idea just came up to me. Knowing that it is difficult for various reasons to make a 680X0 board as fast or

The Gold Card and Super Gold Card are quite different in this respect. The custom logic on the GC and SCG that I have are both Altera chips that max out at 50MHz, which gives a top CPU speed of 25 MHz. However, the SGC clocks the CPU at 24MHz, probably because that frequency allows faster memory

Hi all, Mostly copied over from qlforum.co.uk, so if you read it there, sorry for the redundancy! Today I ran a loop on an unexpanded QL in monitor mode (US model, has weird interrupts) and then with a 68EC020, a GC and a SGC. 100 PRINT DATE$ 110 FOR loop = 0 to 10 : NEXT loop 120 PRINT
